I see this first hand at large old tech companies, where everyone that makes the decisions has been at the company for 20+ years, and are so out of touch in an ever advancing world. Companies like Intel and Microsoft do massive layoffs (mostly of the younger crowd who work in the testing departments), and then wonder why their products keep getting worse and worse and they can't sell them. Companies like Google and Facebook are able to work around this as they have the young engineers and executives making the decisions, which allows them to adapt. You can see this same trend in the current presidential elections as well. Young people are so sick and tired of the establishment not caring about the future of our people that even though the candidates outside of the establishment are crazy they are still getting tons of votes, as the young population has seen that the current situation is not working out.
Have you ever studied history?
